[@raed8905]

This is narrated like a nature documentary and I’m living for it

[@rpe11]

It feels so strange to listen to a british commentator in a hockey game.

[@jackfinn8130]

I really like how Canada barley celebrated. They didn't go crazy and un sportsmanlike. They were very humble

[@MrVincenttwo]

+Jack Finn they pretty much knew that sweden lost all their depth. They had few injuries to key Centers and Backstrom gone

[@papapoot4999]

Canada is used to winning at hockey

[@warren6090]

This commentator just can't contain his excitement.

[@chrishayes8120]

this commentary really needs to get soccer out of their heads

[@smithsoniansamurai7043]

+Chris Hayes i like it, it's a different viewpoint. I like how soccer heads talk about "touches"...it does make sense in such a fine game as hockey. the slightest touch with a deflection or save often makes the difference.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Yeah, there were too many examples of out-of-place soccer terminology to count, but I think the one that made me laugh the most is when he referred to the centering pass on the first goal as a "cross."

[@acc3095]

I have so much respect for Sweden. They put forth consistently excellent hockey teams. They don't do a lot of trash talking either- classy all the way.

[@SM-53242]

+Diamond Vault.... and they are a very small nation! Like 1/30th the population of the USA and still better hockey teams LOL

[@Top3BestChoices]

+ShonThom McGah lol your comment :p

[@jimmyversace4911]

+ShonThom McGah thata because USA isn't hockey crazy like Sweden. They're more into basketball and football

[@ayaaljoma3068]

Mostly because of Pewdiepie

[@237whpH2Bhatch]

Its crazy to think that all the best players and coaches in ice hockey come from one country with a population less than New York city.

[@DonnePlummer69]

Canada's population is well over that of New York city pal, but I hear you. We're only 1/10th the USA population and crush everybody in ice hockey.

[@eriknorgren9913]

Population isnt everythin u know

[@Lajosen]

@@DonnePlummer69 He was talking about Sweden dumbass

[@Vixsufil]

Canada has like 30 million more people than New York lmao. Canada’s population is comparable to metro Tokyo though

[@MrCrockaG]

"A set play caught the Swedish defence off guard. Jeff Carter with the cross" I've never cringed this much in my life

[@ahmadtimsah1]

"cross-ice" "cross-crease" the term cross is used in hockey. and for the record, there are set plays in hockey.

[@samuellong3321]

Great showing of class by team Canada after the game

[@BasePuma4007]

The 2018 team will be ridiculously good for Canada.

[@yannrp2162]

I agreeeee

[@September2004]

+BasePuma4007 That's *if* the NHL participates, and I hope they will.

[@p.hhenry4454]

with McDavid... Jesus

[@norz72]

I agree they will be great in 2018, but Canada in this tournament looked so defensively sound only giving up 3 goals against. It would be fair to say that might never happen again especially on a larger ice surface. The team was just on another level when it came to the little things that usually go unnoticed during a hockey game.

[@ramennoodles2040]

nhlers might not be allowed to go, nil doesn't want them to and public announced it at the draft

[@baka86]

The commentary is just ridiculous. It's obvious they've had limited exposure to hockey yet the IOC decides to have them commentate their official videos....

[@camfg8908]

I love it how cool the Canadians were after this win, like a casual win, nothing special :D I bet they did not even go all in

[@dawsthibert1810]

patiently waiting for 2021

[@liambriscoe2252]

I remember waking up at like 3 a.m. to watch this..... definitely worth it. Not the most interesting game, but another gold!

[@Airportris]

Canada played shut down hockey.. never seen no exception thing like it.. perfection

[@mikewilcox1487]

Credit to the Swedes, that’s still a very good hockey team, it would beat nearly every other team in this world but when Canada has its best players our depth is too much for them at this level.

[@parandersson8032]

Besides Sweden didnt have Zetterberg, Sedin and Bäckström(for the final). Bäckström's asthma medicine got disproved so wasnt allowed to play. They didnt bring Hedman for some (stupid) reason. Canada probably would have won anyhow but could atleast got more exciting.

[@anorine294]

Sweden, you're amazing! As a Vancouver-dweller, we appreciate your contribution to our team (despite Canadian teams shitting the bed ) obviously, and you're fantastic! This was a great match

[@alexandretrudeau6708]

Most dominating display of hockey ever

[@canadianasterixgmail]

When you have power house players in Canada, no wonder the victory will go to them. Go Canada Go!

[@healed1337]

Canada was a defensive powerhouse in that tournament. In the 8 games they played, only 3 goals were scored against them, and none in either the semi-final or the final. It's possible Team Canada 2014 was the most defensively formidable hockey team in history.

[@vigilantgopher9563]

Lol This sounds like a Planet Earth documentary

[@hebber1961]

Highlights are complimentary to Sweden. The game was never in doubt and Canada shut them down.

[@Rajah281989]

This was the DREAM TEAM!!! Played a perfect game!

[@matthewwilliams9299]

The cross from Carter.........

[@flare2000x]

Announcer sounds like he's talking about a soccer game haha.

[@10royals10]

Time will only tell how great this team really is. Probably better than the 2002 gold medal team and that team has 11 hall of famers now and still iginla, brodeur and more to come

[@Orinocomplex]

They let in 3 total goals in the tournament. That is unheard of.

[@armaanr8169]

Sweden did not have their top 3 centres available in this game. Zetterberg, Backstrom, & H. Sedin. Imagine Canada playing without Crosby, Toews, & Bergeron.

[@Wolfhawk40]

The commentary in this video is fantastic!

[@fatherkingpin7138]

PROUD MOMENTS (y)

Boom! Gotta love it baby!

[@fatalmistake1966]

McDavid!!!

[@donutsubscribe3751]

Team Usa will be a whole lot better too, along as matthews, Krys, Kirwan, Jones (max), Murphy, and Mascherin develop into good players

[@mathiaskarlsson7]

mic01 Remember that Henrik Sedin, Zetterberg and Backstrom didnt play the final.. That's Swedens 3 best centers..

[@donutsubscribe3751]

Zetterberg is a winger....

[@mathiaskarlsson7]

Donut Subscribe He is both!.. In the olympics he played as a C.

[@anitashirazi6048]

This is why you don’t mess with Canada in hockey

[@joemed9126]

Hockey is our game. Other nations have ice and fierce cold winters but only in Canada does a true lust and love for hockey exist. From frozen ponds to hockey rinks it binds our country and people in one goal; hockey excellence. We don't excel in much but every Canadian would die on their sword for hockey; even new Canadians.

[@kolecava]

Joe Med you also put a lot of funding into it. Canada has over 700,000 registered Hockey players with Arenas all over the country.

[@joemed9126]

Mister K 7851 hockey rinks to be exact. And a few million local volunteers/parents who get up at 5am on Saturdays/Sundays to open the rink, coach the teams, and drive their kids to the rink. American's throw money at hockey with some success however Canadian hockey is powered by passion and history.

[@kolecava]

Joe Med each country is powered by passion and it's history, it's been going around for a while. However the matter stays, Canada is great due to its enrollment numbers. It's being pushed like Football or NFL/NBA in other countries. A lot of countries have love for Hockey, infact look at smaller countries in Eastern Europe or Scandivanian countries. Funding is still put into coaches and to build the rinks, supply the kits and then whole lot more in semi-proffesional/proffesional area of the sport.

[@joemed9126]

Mister K Canadian parents fund hockey ... not the government. 600 dollars per kid just for house league hockey not including equipment. For rep players 3000+ per kid. Other countries have much higher per capita enrollment yet not the record of excellence that Canada has achieved. We have build the best development systems in the world (GTHL, OHL, ...) and built upon a history and culture of hockey that no other country can offer. We invented and perfected the game.

[@kolecava]

Joe Med Parent's are funding the stadiums, maybe the maintenance but not the construction. You have private contractors which do this. The baseline is, there is funding being dumped into hockey which other countries simply can't do, specially in Europe. Also calculating enrollment per capita is bit pointless as there are many factors to take into account (such as size of the nation, immigration and so forth). The passion for hockey is what generates the number, that and scholarships as well. Look at the OHF and OJHL for example. Other coutnries, most at least simply can't afford that, irrelevant how much passion/enrollment per capita there is.

[@EpicMetalTime]

I'm happy with a silver considering we had some star players falling off. The game was never close anyway.

[@rayc3103]

2018 Canada will be outrageously strong and absolute goliaths of the tournament.

[@darkazon5343]

[@rudde7918]

+Creme De La Creme They were.

[@sorush93]

Good tournament from Sweden overall, if players like the Sedin brothers and Zetterberg would have played, Sweden would have a much better chance of winning the tournament. They Reached the finals without their best players and that deserves respect, meanwhile Canada had almost its full force however they played very well.

[@LoserForLife15]

I still dont thing there would have been a chance. Hockey runs in those boys' blood

[@canuck21]

Sweden would have won the tournament without any problem?!? LOL, dream on. Sweden reached the final, but against Canada it had no chance, Canada dictated the game and in no time was Sweden a serious threat. With the Sedin twins and Zetterberg, Sweden would maybe give a better fight, but that's still not enough. Don't forget that Canada was missing Stamkos too and he's better than Zetterberg and the Sedins.

[@Greensocksable]

We missed Zetterberg, Sedin, Franzen and Backstrom i think. They are 4 important players of the swedish team. I don't know if they would have won or not, but i'm sure that the game would have been more intense :) Good job Canada, your'e the best in hockey right know, RESPECT!

[@canuck21]

***** What Sweden is able to do with their small pool of players is simply amazing. They have the most effective system that's for sure.

[@winterdock]

sorush93 Canada dominated the game No other combination of Swedes would have made any difference

[@Krokodilius]

Canada skated every team into the ice; kind of how the penguins did to win the 2016 cup. No Sundin, Forsberg, Alfredsson, Lidstrom for sweden...folks they still got to silver, that's impressive.

[@PaydoggProductions]

Lol they are all retired😂

[@hunterramsay5540]

that's the point lol

+Habs4ever2900 USA is bad...

[@sarban1653]

[@matthewrigby6089]

British commentators on hockey: 1:28 "A set play caught the Swedish defense off guard, Jeff Carter with the cross..." Set plays and crosses, sounds more like soccer to me.

[@michaeladinolfe6220]

Feel bad for Team Canada in the 60's, 70's and 80's. How many gold medals would they have won during this period had their professionals been able to compete in the Winter Olympics? Many of the great hockey players they had back then would have traded a Stanley Cup for a Gold Medal.

[@septicbeast4986]

the great one super mario ect imagine the skill

[@fighterck6241]

Sporting politics of the time. Professionals in the Olympics is a rather new thing in basketball and hockey. Football has a compromise which allows only 3 over-age players so as to not compromise the World Cup's supremacy in the sport and the Olympics bumped baseball and softball in order to pressure the MLB into allowing pros.

[@asker963]

Канада супер молодцы умеют играть

[@Hawktotalwar]

go pricey!

[@Valtsuuu]

Stanley Cup > Olympic gold > World Cup Gold > World Championships Gold > Other trophies.

[@September2004]

When they show the great goals from Team Canada's past (Henderson, Sittler, Bossy, Lemieux, etc) which one from this game will they choose I wonder? 1st goal - Scored by great player (Toews) and is the game winning goal but hard to see and early in the game. 2nd goal - A breakaway goal by Canada's best player of the last 10 years but he's already a lock in the 2010 highlight (small quibble) 3rd goal - Kunitz is not that big of a name but it is a pretty goal but not the game winning goal by far. I think I would choose the Kunitz goal.

[@smithsoniansamurai7043]

+jessc1979 to be honest this game is not gonna feature highly among the greats. Although the swedes put up a good fight when you actually watched the game, on paper it was a lie down, and they were beaten too soundly. No excitement...2010 was the one people will remember.

[@colkilgore100]

This vid, while serviceable, does not portray the omnipotency, the firepower, of the Canadian team in that tournament. In the 3rd period of the above game, the Swedes were lucky if they even got the puck into the attacking zone. The ice was tipped completely toward Sweden. They never stood a chance.

This British guy should stop his madness. I'm waiting to hear a brilliant goal or a brilliant save from this guy. Hey Britain, we don't do hockey your way, boring! You are killing us!

[@starwarsrebel2006]

I watched this game and have to say it was actually pretty boring to watch, but I guess that's because I was comparing it to the 2002 and 2010 gold medal games between Canada and the USA.

[@vanessa9307]

Why's the goal so tiny? Or at least it looks like it's really tiny

[@toooooooooooooooool]

+TheGamingRaptor 6 feet by 4 feet seems pretty small, but when you consider the size of the puck (3 inch diameter, 1 inch thickness), and the speed of the shots faced by the goaltender (can be in excess of 100 miles per hour), it's a very difficult net to protect even without making it bigger.

[@kostathomas8732]

Because the puck is so small and the game is so fast it sort of justifies it. I'm a goalie myself and it's no easy task stopping the puck
